Varsity All-harford County

Player of the Year

BOYS LACROSSE

Nelson Hannahs

Fallston

The senior was "one of the more technically sound defenders I have coached," Fallston coach Matt Parks said. "Very steady and the three years he has started at long pole and defense I have never once worried about the matchup." Hannahs and defenders John Lawhon and Dave New led a defense that allowed less than five goals per game in front of junior goalie Brad Motley. "Usually, Nelson is matched with the top offensive threat of the opposing team, whether it is a midfielder or an attackman," Parks said. "Nelson plays on the wing of almost every faceoff, and when not on the wing, we usually use him to face off when we're not successful with our short sticks." Bound for McDaniel College, Hannahs' career numbers include 260 ground balls over the past two seasons, two goals and three assists and a faceoff winning percentage of nearly .450. Hannahs was penalized only three times for 2.5 minutes this season.

Coach of the Year

Matt Parks

Fallston

Although the Cougars fell short of winning the Class 3A-2A state title after a 6-3 loss to Glenelg in the final, Parks nevertheless, guided them to an impressive season. Fallston posted an 18-2 record that included victories over Archbishop Curley, the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association B Conference champion The win over Curley came on the heels of the Friars' victory over five-time 4A-3A champion Dulaney. The Cougars' defense allowed less than five goals per game. Offensively, Fallston dominated Harford County rivals with a balanced attack of sophomore Pat Mull (16 goals, 51 assists), junior Luke Raab (34,17) and senior Chad Palmer (38, 10), and midfielders Tim Gill (21, 14) and Ben Hoganson (25, three).

GIRLS LACROSSE

PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Corey Donohoe

North Harford

The senior put a stellar finishing touch on a fine career by scoring five goals on No. 1 Mount Hebron in the Class 3A-2A state final. Donohoe was the toughest player to contain all season, using her strength, skills and smarts to foil opposing defenses just as she did to the Vikings, who went on to edge her No. 7 Hawks, 7-6. Despite drawing constant double teams, she scored 83 goals and had 44 assists. She had a 10-point game against Bel Air and scored the game-winner in double overtime against Fallston. Donohoe led the Hawks to the Harford County title and to their first appearance in the state final.
